I could while landing, but the higher the aircraft the thinner the aircraft could travel faster. Also, the engines on a Concorde were extremely loud, so it flew higher so it wasn't a nuisance.
Because people don't like (Most people, anyway) the noise of the "Sonic Boom"
Forever, because Concorde no longer flies!
It was a very fast huge plane. I saw it land once while waiting for a flight in Europe and it was very distinctive plane.

How much is the starter for 1998 Chrysler Concorde
On 10th April 2003, Air France and British Airways announced that they would be retiring Concorde later that year due to low passenger numbers and a slump in air travel. The Concorde airplane was retired on 26th November 2003.
The Concorde did not travel lower than the stratosphere primarily due to the need to avoid excessive air resistance and turbulence that occur in the denser air of the lower atmosphere. Operating at higher altitudes, typically around 60,000 feet, allowed the aircraft to achieve optimal speed and fuel efficiency while minimizing drag. Additionally, flying at stratospheric levels helped reduce noise pollution over populated areas, as the sonic boom created by supersonic travel was less disruptive at higher altitudes.
I have no idea
The Concorde jet operated at supersonic speeds, which made it capable of flying above the speed of sound. However, flying at lower altitudes would have resulted in increased drag and fuel consumption, diminishing its efficiency and performance. Additionally, regulatory restrictions and noise concerns, particularly over land, limited its operational altitude and routes. Therefore, maintaining higher altitudes was essential for optimizing its speed and fuel efficiency.
